This Back to the Future invention you’ve always wanted finally exists

If you’re a person who can never decide what to wear, Algara will be the wardrobe companion you never knew you needed. When you buy Algara, you receive a White Jade stone with the app that can be used as a necklace, bracelet or hairpin. The stone itself changes to suit whatever colour is set via the app. To do so, the user just has to take a photo of the colour they’d like the stone to be, and the app will correspondingly change it. Suddenly the reality of customisable clothing seems not quite so implausible.
